Chapter 869 There is a backstage and no backstage, it is really very different
I don't know if it's because Cai Jing is working hard behind his back, Song Jiang, who was condemned as a criminal minister by the official family, was not tied or bound along the way, and he could still walk quickly, and he didn't look like a court criminal who wanted to enter Beijing to ask for a crime. In addition to the rigid rule that you must travel more than 100 miles every day, the civil officials along the road should receive and receive, which should be convenient and convenient, and the trip to Songjiang is as easy as if traveling at public expense.
However, Song Jiang entered Beijing to "face the saint" and urged the angels to go quickly, so that the old eunuch greeted Song Jiang's ancestors for eight generations in his stomach every day, but he didn't dare to say it explicitly, so that he could taste the Tao of Shandong and timely rain.
The angel group took seven or eight days when they came, but it only took five or six days to return, which can be described as fast. It is said that when the sun set on this day, the horse team escorting Song Jiang finally arrived in the capital.
As soon as this group of people arrived outside Xincaomen, the people nearby surrounded them, and some good people coaxed: "Taiwei, which state capital has been recovered by the imperial court?" ”
Seeing this scene, Song Jiang showed an inexplicable expression, but the old eunuch looked strange, and raised his whip to disperse the onlookers. Song Jiang wondered in his heart, and turned to ask the imperial camp officer beside him. Thinking about this team, who didn't get the benefits of Song Jiang? This officer was familiar with Song Jiang on the road, and he didn't hide it from him at this time, and finally told the truth.
It turned out that it was not that Song Jiang didn't know it, but that the success of the city gate was just emerging in the recent period.
I think that at the beginning, the Liangshan thief Kou kicked his leg when he was dying, and the momentum was too violent, and it didn't look like a return to the light before the number of qi was exhausted. This box is still immersed in the great victory in Hedong and has not come back, and the Liangshan thief army has been killed to Xingren Mansion, the gateway to the capital, what an embarrassing thing?
However, if it's just embarrassing, it's just a matter of death. The point is that this gang of thieves is not only embarrassing, but also frightening, and their soldiers are only one realm away from the heart of the Great Song Dynasty, Tokyo Kaifeng Mansion! Out of Heungin Mansion, it is the dignified land of Gyeonggi!
Although. At that time, Tong Guan's 400,000 troops were stationed at the gate of Jingdong Road, and there were still a large number of forbidden troops stationed in the capital. It is said that they are not afraid of 10,000, but they are afraid of what happens, and even someone has secretly sent their family members out of the capital.
However, these dignitaries have a way out, but Zhao Ji, who is the emperor, has no way out. This Daojun Emperor really couldn't imagine how he, as a Kuangshi Mingjun who was determined to surpass Taizu's exploits, could make a group of thieves drive out of the capital and flee in a hurry!?
If such a scene really happened, then the damage caused by this incident to him Zhao Ji would be irreversible. Even if the Liangshan thieves are completely exterminated in the future, he, the Holy Monarch, will have no face. In fact, it is still a trivial matter to have no face to see people, if it hurts Dao Xing and causes him to be unable to ascend to immortal in the future, it is really a blood mold, even if he breaks the Liangshan thief Kou into thousands of corpses, it will not be able to make up for the pain in his heart Zhao Ji.
It's good. Tong Guan is still competitive. So much so that the originally menacing Liangshan thieves were frightened by him and turned east to plunder the state capital. Afterwards, thinking of the achievements of this group in Jingdong Road, Zhao Ji couldn't help but be afraid, and he began to reflect. Was he dazzled by the victory in Hedong, and he was a little anxious to provoke a war. After all, in just a few months, most of the counties of Jingdong Road have been separated from the territory of the imperial court, and this intensity. It came much more violently than last year's Hedong Tianhu.
Even the emperor was scared in his heart, not to mention the panic in the hearts of the citizens of Jingshi.
Yes, in order to reverse the panicked situation in the capital. Zhao Ji, the Son of Heaven, ordered that whenever the imperial court and the prince recover a county, he would immediately enter the city from the outer city of Xincaomen by fast horses, and report the victory along the road along Niuhang Street to reassure the people.
It's just that Zhao Ji didn't expect that Liangshan was fierce, but Tong Guan was even more fierce! Originally, this was just a momentary move to boost morale, but I didn't expect this Tong Guan to be worthy of being a good general in his Zhao Jigui's eyes, since he was reprimanded and began to send troops to intervene, the county-by-county report documents poured into Tokyo like a tide, so that Zhao Ji was a little embarrassed in the end, and finally Xia Jinkou expanded the scope of the good news to recover a state before reporting along the street.
Even so, the successive recovery of more than ten state capitals still made Kaifeng Mansion every day like the New Year, and for a time everyone felt that the Beijing division was solid, that is, Liangshanbo, which was once unanimously regarded as a flood beast by the capital, was also like yesterday's yellow flower and no one mentioned it. At the same time, the topic of Tong Guan has directly become the hottest topic in the streets and alleys and even in the imperial officialdom.
"Look, look, there are officers and soldiers from the front line entering the city, this time I'm afraid that Liang Shanbo's old nest has called the court to serve it!"
"How can it be that simple? I clearly remember that Qingzhou and Dengzhou have not yet reported victory! ”
"Isn't that a matter of time? Now that I can remember the state capital of Jingdong Road, how many days can the thief Wang Lun last? Don't say it, I've heard people say that Tong Shumi is the Nine Heavens Demon Ancestor who came to assist the Holy Tomorrow Son to level the universe. This Hedong Tianhu has been exterminated, Wang Lun of Liangshanbo is almost at the limit, Wang Qing has become the son-in-law of the Tong family again, and the next step is Jiangnan! ”
"Alas, Tian Hu will be destroyed when he is destroyed, this person has done all the bad things, and there should be a retribution. But Wang Xiucai doesn't seem to be as brutal as Kaifeng Mansion proclaims, I have a relative who lives in Jeju, and I heard that Wang Lun has done a lot of good things in Shandong, and the people there are very loyal to him! ”
"What's the use of looking at him? As soon as the heavenly soldiers arrived, they immediately scattered! Like such a thief, even if he has read two books, he can deceive those countrymen, what do you say we are fooling around? It's better for everyone to live their own peaceful life! ”
Taking advantage of the old eunuch's efforts to solemnly enter the city with the guard of honor, Song Jiang consciously collected a lot of public opinion. When he learned that the citizens of Jingshi were not as close to Liangshan as the people of Jingdong, he did not gloat, but had some sadness of "the rabbit died and the fox was sad, and the things hurt him", as if Tong Guan and other power traitors were allowed to be blown into the world by the Emperor Zhenwu intentionally or unintentionally, then he Song Jiang as the object of the "positive character" frame, it is estimated that he will not have a good reputation in the future.
It's just that life is not short, there are many decades, and there will be a time to wash away the shame in the future. Now that he has climbed the high branch of Cai Jing and Cai Enxiang, what are you afraid of him? You know, Cai Jing didn't bother to say a few more words to himself at the beginning, and this time Liang Zhongshu specially asked Wen Da to talk, doesn't it mean that people have begun to worry about themselves?
With a heart full of thoughts. Song Jiang was taken to the imperial city in a daze, thinking that it was getting late today, and he couldn't see the emperor's face, but he didn't know that Zhao Ji actually had some diligent energy, and summoned him, a guilty person, overnight.
When he arrived at the top of the main hall, the apprehensive Song Jiang suddenly saw an old man on the side of the holy car, and his heart immediately warmed, and an indescribable feeling poured out at this time, as if as long as this person was there, he Song Jiang would be greatly wronged. It's worth it, too.
After the mountain called long live, the Son of Heaven instructed Song Jiang to calm down, and when Song Jiang peeked to take a look, he found that although the Son of Heaven was not half happy, there was no sign of thunder, and then he looked at Cai Jing Cai Yuanchang, who was like an old man in the clan, and his heart suddenly settled down a lot.
"Song Jiang, Tong Guanjuan, you have delayed the military plane and are unwilling to do things honestly. almost killed the pillars of the court, do you have anything to say? ”
came, Song Jiang "chuckled" in his heart, although he simulated this scene thousands of times during the journey. At this time, when facing Zhao Ji's real questioning, he still couldn't help his heartbeat, and it was easy to adjust his breathing, and follow the response plan he thought of on the road. Kowtowed and confessed: "The sinner is guilty!" ”
Zhao Ji said "um", just waiting for Song Jiang to show his feelings, who knew Song Jiang's head. Zhao Ji waited for a long time, but there was still no follow-up, Zhao Ji "Huh", and glanced at Cai Jing suspiciously, this is the first time to seriously look at this small general.
"Your Majesty, the old minister has a few words to say!"
didn't wait for Song Jiang's statement, but it was Cai Jing, an important minister in the court, who spoke, and Emperor Daojun naturally wouldn't let him speak, but only listened to Cai Jingdao: "It's true to say that Song Jiang Yi delayed the military plane, but he refuses to do things honestly, this old minister never dares to agree!" Thinking that when Tianfu was besieged, it was Song Jiang who led the army to rescue him, although the two armies later misunderstood, resulting in deaths and injuries on both sides, but the city was never lost. Later, Song Jiang led the army to recover Shanzhou and Xuzhou, attacked Qingfu to rescue Qingzhou, and marched more than 1,000 miles. ”
When Zhao Ji heard this, he nodded noncommittally and fell into deep thought. Song Jiang, who was kneeling in front of the hall, was about to fall out of his tears when he heard it, Enxiang's Enxiang simply understood him too well, and said that the priest died for his confidant, and he hesitated when he bet on the treasure, but now it seems that it is really a woman's benevolence!
Cai Jing is not a person who points to the water, he generally refuses to speak easily, at this time, he started at this time, he did not achieve his goal, and he never stopped easily, only listened to him and continued: "And the old minister heard that the reason why Song Jiang delayed the military plane is also for a reason, and please ask Your Majesty not to sin the crime of losing honor in front of Song Jiang's palace, let him untie the court clothes!" ”
"No need, I'm not an unreasonable person, Song Aiqing, since I am sick, I will stay in the capital to recuperate, and then return to the front line to make contributions when I am healed!"
Looking at Cai Jing with silver hair, Zhao Ji sighed, no matter how much he didn't like Song Jiang in his heart, but he understood that the more times like this, the more he had to support Cai Jing as a son of heaven.
Speaking privately, this old minister has been assisting him for more than ten years, and he is already in his prime, as the saying goes: "Seventy-three, eighty-four, the king of Hades does not call himself to go", seeing that people have not been alive for a few days, Zhao Ji couldn't help but feel a little sad in his heart. As far as Yu Gong is concerned, if Cai Jing loses power or dies, Tong Guan is left alone in the DPRK, and there is no heavyweight opponent to balance him. Alas, if his son Cai You could have half of Cai Jing's skills, he, the emperor, would not be so tired.
Hearing that the Son of Heaven would not hold him accountable, Song Jiang was really overjoyed, but he didn't expect the whip raised high to fall so gently!
Although this time it was his sin, from beginning to end, Zhao Ji didn't talk much to the main master, and Song Jiang once again appreciated Cai Jing's weight in the court. It seems that there are people up there and no people on top, that's really different. Otherwise, with Tong Guan's current power and unmatched military exploits in the Manchu Dynasty, if he wants to be a whole person, the emperor will stop him!?
"Your Majesty Shengming!"
Looking at the trembling Cai Jing and bowing down to thank him, Zhao Ji was moved by compassion, and immediately got up and said: "Today is here, the chief should go back to the house early to rest!" ”
Cai Jing was thanking, and suddenly saw a small eunuch outside the hall hurriedly entering, and after several passes, an expedited piece was delivered to Zhao Ji's hand, Zhao Ji frowned, opened the piece with a little dissatisfaction, and said impatiently: "I don't see what time I see!" ”
The little eunuch was not as favored as Gao Qiang, and when he heard this, his face was suddenly frightened, and he knelt down and said: "Because, because it involves General Song, Taifu Liang ordered slaves and slaves to ......."
In fact, there was no need for this little eunuch to remind him at all, Zhao Ji had already seen the content of the secret compromise about Song Jiang, and suddenly saw that his muscles were trembling with dissatisfaction on his face, obviously the anger in his heart had reached the extreme.
